To the editor:
Where have all the decent Republicans gone? I am a life long Democrat who has voted for Republicans who have exhibited genuine concern for the well-being of their constituents.
There were some I didn’t vote for, but later found them intelligent, reasonable and respectable representatives.
However, today’s Republicans are a different beast.

This letter to the editor is about opportunity, about Oregon, about positive Oregon politics. It’s about a candidate for Governor who is making waves. A candidate who offers you solid pragmatic opportunity without the far left’s hide and seek politics of irrational tax programs that make our lives expensive, restrict growth, offers highly expensive but poor education for our children, that turns our cities into vagrant slums full of drugs and needles.

To the editor:
Isaak Kemp, mentioned in “Teen attends advocacy training,” deserves respect and encouragement in caring about the environment and what we do to the planet. However, if he is basing information on climate and climate change by what Al Gore says, he is being misled by falsehood.

To the editor:
With the advent of the internet, we live in the most amazing time in history. Never before has access to all the world’s knowledge and information been available to everyone. All this is being threatened as the FCC votes to roll back net neutrality on Dec. 14.
